Tench Reserve in Penrith offers a picturesque and tranquil setting for a wedding. Here are 5 reasons why it's a great choice:
Located on the banks of the Nepean River, Tench Reserve boasts beautiful natural surroundings with lush green grass, large eucalyptus trees, and serene water views. This provides a picturesque backdrop for your ceremony and stunning photo opportunities.
The reserve offers a calm and relaxed environment, perfect for a romantic and intimate wedding ceremony. It allows you and your guests to reconnect with nature and enjoy a peaceful celebration away from the hustle and bustle.
Tench Reserve is easily accessible by car, with public transport options also available. It has ample parking, and the recent upgrades (completed in 2023) have enhanced the facilities to include new pathways, seating areas, public art, picnic spots, and an inclusive play space. There are also cafes and restaurants nearby for post-ceremony celebrations.
While ideal for intimate gatherings, Tench Reserve can accommodate a range of guest numbers. For example, some services suggest a standard capacity of 20 guests, with options to increase up to 60, making it suitable for both smaller and slightly larger celebrations.
Being in Penrith, Tench Reserve is close to other sought-after wedding reception venues (like The Orchard Penrith or the Nepean Belle Paddlewheeler), as well as a variety of local services such as celebrants, photographers, and stylists. It also serves as a gateway to the Blue Mountains, offering more options for accommodation and activities for out-of-town guests.
Please aim to arrive 15 minutes prior to your ceremony (along with your guests) to ensure you are in the right location and ready to go at your scheduled time.
